🚫NO ADDS🚫

Thanks for adding me. ✨

ICYMI

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP.
Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

ICE is deporting US citizens

This is the hype video the White House posted when they arrested Sandwich Guy, who was found not guilty today.

Tom Morello quote about Trump: He is so deeply stupid. There has never been a president less informed about virtually everything, yet so laughably confident in his bold, rambling ignorance.

#DefendersOfDemocracy

BREAKING: Voters kicked 13 MAGA delegates in the Virginia House OUT so far. Democrats are nearing a SUPER MAJORITY.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Horrible. 😳

Opinion | Trump Lost the Trade War to China

10/ So bottom line: 8 months after Trump starts a massive trade war with China:

- U.S. factory jobs declining
- U.S. families paying thousands for tariffs
- China makes not a single concession
- The world watches Xi bully Trump into surrender

Awesome.

Russia looks to cosy up with China after Trump’s meeting with Xi Russian officials appeared eager to reafiirm Moscow's alliance with China following President Donald Trump's meeting with Xi Jinping last week.

9/ What isn't part of Trump's "deal" with China. No commitments from Xi to stop financing Russia's war against Ukraine. No protections for Taiwan. No restrictions on China's export of fentanyl ingredients.

China keeps getting away with murder.

Nvidia's Huang joins tech titans funding Trump's ballroom WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang donated to fund the construction of U.S. President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom, he told reporters, joining other tech leaders supporting the proje...

8/ Why? Maybe because chip maker Nvidia's CEO paid Trump $1 million for a private meeting and made a HUGE donation to help build the ballroom. Now Trump says he's open to helping China get access to Nvidia's chips - which Biden wouldn't sell to China.

7/ But IT GETS WORSE (and here comes the corruption story).

As a sweetener, Trump tells Xi he might lift export restrictions on selling China the most advanced AI microchips.

This would be a disaster, allowing China to catch us in the AI race.

6/ So Trump went to Xi to surrender. Trump rolled back the tariffs, paused the new restrictions, and in exchange Xi made a vague commitment to buy some soybeans and start exporting some minerals.

Xi had now proven that he could win a trade war with Trump.

An embarrassment.

The U.S. is losing thousands of manufacturing jobs, analysis finds Uncertainty over U.S. tariffs and other Trump administration economic policies are deterring manufacturers from hiring, according to the Center for American Progress.

5/ Trump's policy was a TOTAL FAILURE. China didn't stop its unfair trade practice and U.S. factory jobs are DECLINING, not growing. All that is happening is an escalating trade war that's hurting American families, farmers and businesses.

China Bought $12.6 Billion in U.S. Soybeans Last Year. Now, It’s $0.

4/ So China stopped exporting critical minerals and importing soy beans. More devastation.

Without these minerals, the U.S. couldn't make everything from cars to fighter jets. Without China's soybean market, American farmers were getting pummeled.

Where We Stand: The Fiscal, Economic, and Distributional Effects of All U.S. Tariffs Enacted in 2025 Through April 2

3/ So where were are we at going into the Trump-Xi meeting? The U.S. put tariffs on Chinese goods. The cost to an Americans family of Trump's tariffs have been about $3800 so far this year. Just devastating.

Trump was threatening more restrictions.

2/ First, let's remember how this started. Trump rolls into office proclaiming that China is stealing U.S. manufacturing jobs and he's going to put tariffs on Chinese goods in order to force China to play by trade rules and bring jobs back to the U.S..

It's been a few days since Trump announced his "deal" with Xi. It's now clear that Trump got fleeced. America gave up lots and got nothing.

It's a story you should know bc few things matter more than the U.S.-China relationship.

1/ So here's a🧵

Report: ICE shot a US citizen trying to help kids According to his lawyer, immigration officers shot Carlos Jimenez after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

ICE officers reportedly shot a 25-year-old named Carlos Jimenez.

He was shot after getting out of his car to tell the agents, who had pulled over a vehicle, that children would soon be gathering in that spot for the school bus.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."
